i might get hust because u dont have to pack games along with you if your going places for a long time
I hope you do realize that there is no UMD support. So unless they have a way of giving the digital format of your respective games to you for free, they have already dissed them, so point invalid IMO."Also, no second analog stick, that is a major disappointment."
Do you really think that Sony would diss 50.000.000 people who bought PSP from one of the first three series?
Yes, it is an alternative choice, i know, however it is a new product in the market and is part of the PSP series. Hence it is comparable to the other PSPs available in the market. I was just stating my point.Sony clearly stated that this is alternate choice. ONE console - TWO concepts. If you like advantages of PSP 1000/2000/3000 buy it/keep it, if you want smaller form factor, digital distribution and 16GB integrated memory buy Go. They're not forcing you to buy it, FFS.
"How will this slider be more stable?"
They're going to make it better then mobile phone manufacturers. Did Mylo had significant slider problems? No.
No guarantee about that. They'll probably be using their own modules (just like the PSP-2000 and PSP-3000 do)I quite like the internal memory, but with it using the same fw as current PSP's will that mean all the hacks are universal?
"I hope you do realize that there is no UMD support."
OH RLY? Didn't notice that.
"So unless they have a way of giving the digital format of your respective games to you for free, they have already dissed them, so point invalid IMO."
Again. Do they force them to go on Go? NO. They can keep their old PSPs, and play UMDs on them. It would be fair if Sony would allow UMD ripping, but there is no DISSING if something like that doesn't happen.
Learn the difference between forward and backward compatibility.
Explanation: WHAT IS DISSING?
When you sell a console with one stick, and then start making games which use two stick setup, thus forcing whole userbase to buy alternative/redesigned/whatever console. That is dissing.
Like I said, either you can keep/buy your PSP1-3 and play UMDs, or you can upgrade to GO, and if you're not going to upgrade to GO you can still play all upcoming games.
"As far as new games are concerned, they should have been able to work out a general 2 way control system. As the second analog usually replaces the functions of the arrow keys."
Anything is possible, but be serious, please.
"Thus ditching the UMD and in turn ditching a major part of the PSP 1k-3k series."
LOL. How? Every PSP has memory stick slot, you said yourself that you can buy cheap 16gig sd cards, so where is the problem?
FFS they're selling UMDless Patapon right now.
"Like, the PSP-3000 has no blue-tooth however the PSP Go! does. So that doesn't make the PSP-3000 a true alternative. Get my point?"
No, i don't. Why? Because bluetooth, just like additional 32MB of ram, is not CORE funcionality. PSP1000 useres werent hurt when PSP Slims rolled out with 64MB ram, because core funcionality stayed ecactly the same. Yes, they had Skype, but they paid for additional hardware changes. I didn't pay, so i had to live without it (oh noes) but what is important, everything else stayed same.
So if yor're going to say that PSP3000 can't be alternative because it's not possible to use bluetooth headset with it (and possibly share files, but again, you already mentioned that you can use wifi transfer with old series) i really don't know what else to say...
"Also I'd like to add other points as to why i think PSP Go! is not so good:
It brings in youtube compatibility (CFW already has it. Sony is late)
It allows you to play games without the UMD (Again, CFW has it. Sony is late once again)
It has a 16GB inbuilt Flash Memory (Just use 2 microSD cards with a reader. They are cheap and can provide you a lot more storage space).
Blue-tooth File Transfer (Homebrew apps allow you to do adhoc-file transfers already. Only added advantage is ability to communicate with other devices.)"
This really doesn't make any sense. Youre basicly saying that console is "not so good" because they added new functions? So what if there were already homebroe applications/workarounds for listed "shortcommings"? Adding new functions can't be bad (or as you said "not so good") even if it comes later then expected.
Looking that way, new version of symbian is "not so good" since Nokia has integrated dictionary and office applications into OS, but there were already third party solutions for that?
Another useless Sony PSP hardware revision.
Also When does any "big corporation" ever listen to their consumers lol All they think about is hey we're gunna re-release this, add some new stuff take out old, and some or most people will get suckered into Buying it (Nintendo is Notorious for this, Game boy -> Game boy pocket -> Game boy color -> Game boy Advance -> Game boy Advance SP -> Gameboy Micro -> Nintendo DS -> Nintendo DS Lite -> Lets get rid of the game boy port add camera's and a SD slot with a Wii type menu and call it "Nintendo DSi"). Now you got the PSP (Phat), PSP Slim, PSP 3000 (with a mic oooo nice), PSP Go! (lets get rid of UMD change to a slide feature and piss off consumers). See a trend, Sony is only doing what Nintendo has been doing since the old Grey brick called Gameboy.
So we're stuck with revision after revision of a product till it's End of life cycle starts, and a another next gen portable console comes along.
